General Douglas MacArthur struggled to hold U.S. positions in the Philippines due to a combination of factors, including the overwhelming numerical superiority of Japanese forces and the rapid onset of the Pacific War following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Philippines was poorly prepared for the invasion, facing logistical challenges, insufficient reinforcements, and outdated equipment. Additionally, MacArthur's strategic decisions, such as focusing on the defense of Bataan and Corregidor, ultimately proved inadequate against the relentless Japanese assault. These challenges culminated in the fall of U.S. positions in early 1942.
